Mike Bradley  
Relief Pitcher | Philadelphia Phillies

Pitching
Bradley has to keep the ball down, especially against lefties, or he gets hit hard and often. He comes right after righthanded hitters, who are lucky even to reach base against him, but he works more carefully to lefties.

Defense & Hitting
His slow delivery makes him fairly easy to steal upon, but Bradley helps himself by holding runners with throws to first, and with slide steps and varied deliveries to home. He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Bradley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Bradley has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
I can't say I know what The Philadelphia Phillies were doing locking this guy up to a long term contract. A questionable call at best. Bradley has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Philadelphia Phillies will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Philadelphia Phillies are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
